Beth lived her whole life nestled in the Salt Lake valley where she married Merrell L Montague in 1952 and bore 7 children. She was a generous, joyful soul that loved nothing more than to spend time with her family. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She bowled on several bowling leagues in the valley with friends and family, 50 years with the Wednesday Mrs. She traveled the U.S. going to bowling tournaments. She enjoyed traveling long road trips with her sister, Betty. Through the years she has made forever friends wherever she traveled.
Beth was introduced to live theater later in life. She shared her new found love by getting family and friends to join her at several productions a month.
